The International Relations and Cooperation Department confirmed on Monday it was trying to establish the whereabouts of a South African journalist onboard a convoy of ships attacked by Israeli commandos.

Israeli forces attacked the vessel early on Monday morning, saying the group would not let them search the ship for weapons. The aid workers said they were carrying much-needed supplies.

Radio 786 journalist Khadijah Davids was on one of the vessels. Reports said at least 20 people were killed and 19 injured.

The local journalist was on the ship which was carrying medical and food supplies to Gaza.

Davids mother, Magboeba, said her daughter could not wait to go on the mission.

ï¿½We are concerned about her. Its her first time ever away from home but she wanted the experience. We hope that she will come back to us and bring us news,ï¿½ her mother said.

The departments Saul Molobi said officials were doing everything they could to assist the family.

ï¿½We have spoken to our missions in Tel Aviv, Ramallah and Ankara who are looking for more information,ï¿½ he said.

Meanwhile, The Elders have joined international and local organisations in condemning the attack.

The United Nations Security Council is to meet in an emergency session this evening to discuss the attack.

Several Makhaza residents believe their basic rights have been violated with the temporary removal of open-air toilets.

Metro police officials broken down about 65 un-enclosed toilet structures on Monday morning – a move that angered the Khayelitsha.

A group of about 500 people took to the streets in protest to voice their dissatisfaction.

Last week, ANC Youth League members trashed the toilets after the City of Cape Town attempted to erect enclosures around them.

Andiswa Ngabi said the fact that their toilets have been taken away is something that makes the community unhappy.

ï¿½We are not happy. We are complaining about toilets without covers. Now, instead of doing what we want, they just take off the toilets. Were feeling that government destroyed us.ï¿½

Another resident from the area said the destruction of the toilets was not the only issue angering them.

ï¿½There is a lack of service delivery; electricity, toilets, water,ï¿½ said Nobulumko Cabe.

But Cape Town Mayor Dan Plato believes the toilet debacle is a political ploy motivated by the youth league.

ï¿½In this instance I cannot understand why the broader community [and] their leadership cant bring the ANC Youth League to book.ï¿½

But ANCYL spokesperson Chumile Sali believes the city could have done a better job of informing the residents about their plan to take down the toilets.

ï¿½We are convinced that what happened today is a result of a failure to act when you lodge a complaint against the city council. And also the city council, which is led by the racist DA, is undermining the dignity of people living in Makhaza.ï¿½
